Will there still be an undefeated team at the end of the 6th day of Pro B? Not necessarily. What is certain, however, is that the only one who can claim this is Blois. Opposed to Caen this Saturday, October 12, the ADA could take the lead in the division alone.
Roanne overwhelmed in the final sprint, Moses Greenwood carries the HTV
A scenario made possible by the first defeat of the season for Roanne, beaten by Antibes this Friday (87-79). Facing the Sharks of a Antoine Eïto recovered (19 points including 11/13 from free throws, 5 rebounds and 9 assists for 2 lost balls), the Choir lost the match in the last quarter. The Ligeriens nevertheless took control of the game thanks to a huge 2nd quarter (16-34). But in the last ten minutes, Thomas Andrieux’s players were penalized by their loss of balls (16) as well as numerous fouls, which allowed the Antibes to build their success in the final minutes.
The end of a series, Hyères-Toulon was also entitled to it this Friday. Defeated during the first five days, the promoted Varois finally found the solution against Denain (89-85). Until then rather in difficulty for his discovery of division, Moses Greenwood put out a huge performance against the Dragons (21 points on 8/11 shooting, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 interceptions for 29 rating) to lead his team to a first success.
Rouen wakes up, not Nantes
On the other hand, it is now alone that Chartres will continue its way of the cross. After this 6th day, the CCBM is the only team not to have won, still defeated at JA Vichy (97-87). Combative and determined, like his start to the match (0-8), the last minute promotion does not succeed however.
Just like Nantes. The change of coach that occurred during the week, with the dismissal of Laurent Pluvy and the interim appointment of Antoine Michon, did not have an immediate effect for the NBH. Beaten at home by Alliance Sport Alsace (85-97), the Nantes residents once again sank defensively. They were notably unable to stop the Alsatian attack, like the excellent success of Yvann Bada (22 points at 11/13 shooting success).
Also entangled in a complicated start to the season despite good prospects at the start of the year, Rouen was able to react for its part. Facing one of the best teams in the division, Élan Béarnais, RMB outrageously dominated the rebounding area (43 shots including 21 offensive). A series of 21-0 (from 40-47 to 61-47) completely reversed the momentum of the match won by the Normans (79-75). Poitiers Basket 86 also managed to get out of its current series of defeats (2) against Fos Provence (80-64). Despite the return of Damien Bouquet (11 points in 26 minutes of play), the BYers suffered the law of the Poitevin duo Jahvon Blair (22 points) – Jonathan Jeanne (13 points and 11 rebounds).
In the rest of the matches, Aix-Maurienne continues its very good start to the season having largely disposed of Évreux (101-73), with enormous external success (12/26 at 3-points) and equally mastery of the rebound impressive (55 catches including 15 offensive). Finally, the SCABB disposed of Champagne Basket (99-80) by accelerating in particular upon returning from the locker room, passing a 35 to 10 in the 3rd quarter.
